What are some benefits you will discover by replacing your roof this year? 

Increased Home Value

A new roof can bring increased value to your property. Asphalt shingles offer a huge variety of colors and styles to choose from, and are budget-friendly.  Metal roofing lasts for decades in comparison to asphalt, and also offers a variety of colors and styles to complement your home. Cedar, tile, and slate are also other options to consider. They each have their varied benefits, and the options are many. Regardless of the type of roofing material you choose, the value and curb appeal of your home will increase. 

Improve Energy Efficiency

Are your monthly bills becoming larger than you desire? Perhaps a new roof with additional insulation can improve your home’s energy efficiency. Your heating and cooling system will run less when a home is properly insulated and vented. A variety of ENERGY-STAR roofing options are available and should be considered when deciding on a new roof.

Selling Your Home

Is 2023 the year you plan to move? If your current roof is showing its age, upgrading to a new system will be more appealing to a potential buyer, as well as increase the value of your home. A new roof can demand a higher selling price, offers lower time on the market, and smoother negotiations. Make the first impression a positive one with a classy, fresh new roof! 

Damage

As discussed above, is your roof showing signs of damage, sagging rooflines, water stains, or missing shingles? These are all evidence of a less-than-perfect working roof. You can only know the true extent of any damage by having your roof professionally inspected. A qualified roofing contractor will be able to assess all damage and offer sound advice on the steps you need to take.

Age

Before committing to a roofing material, consider the lifespan of the material you are considering. Asphalt shingle roofs tend to last around 20 years, while metal roofing can last about double that timeframe. Cedar, tile, and slate offer longer life spans so this is something to consider. Of course, a trusted roofing professional can assist you with deciding which roofing material is best for your home and budget.
